Poll
numbers out this week reveal that the AG contest in Minnesota and Wisconsin is a genuine toss up.  This campaign will come down to which side executes most effectively on fundraising, message, and turn out.

IF THE ELECTION FOR
WISCONSIN ATTORNEY GENERAL WERE HELD TODAY BETWEEN J. B. VAN HOLLEN FOR THE
REPUBLICANS AND KATHLEEN FALK FOR THE DEMOCRATS, FOR WHOM WOULD YOU LIKELY
VOTE?

Falk 37.7 percent
Van Hollen 32.7 percent
Undecided 29.7 percent

This contest is still way up in the air – the undecided voters
will go the with candidate they feel more comfortable with…

TELL ME IF YOU HAVE
A FAVORABLE OR UNFAVORABLE OPINION OF … KATHLEEN FALK

Favorable, 28.9 percent
Unfavorable, 23.4 percent
No opinion, 37.8 percent
Never heard of, 10 percent

Falk is approaching a 1 to 1 ration on her fav/unfav rating – depending
on what Van Hollen has in his arsenal, she could reach 1 to 1, or worse have a
higher unfav than fav rating with Wisconsin voters.  Not what you want to
happen when you’re trying to people comfortable with your
candidacy. 

TELL ME IF YOU HAVE A FAVORABLE OR
UNFAVORABLE OPINION OF … J.B. VAN HOLLEN

Favorable, 23 percent
Unfavorable, 11.2 percent
No opinion, 44.6 percent
Never heard of, 21.2 percent

Van Hollen still has some ground to cover – though he’s
done a phenomenal job of starting from something like 5% name ID to having
nearly 80% name ID
